Reimagining Opinion Journalism

4 November 2021 @ 1:00 pm

In these highly opinionated times, what is the role of opinion journalism? What opinions should be amplified? Which views might be better left in the dark? Have opinions overtaken the news? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kathleen Kingsbury, appointed in 2020 as the New York Times’ Opinion editor, tackles these big questions in her new role with one of the world’s most influential Opinion sections. Kingsbury speaks about the new ideas she brings to the Times and the future of opinion journalism, in conversation with Anna Maria Tremonti, host of J-Talks Live and the CBC podcast More.
